TCADP Lobby Day
As an anti-death penalty advocate and supporter of the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (TCADP), you have a critical and urgent role to play during this 82nd Session of the Texas Legislature.
Rep. Jessica Farrar has filed House Bill (HB) 819, which calls for the repeal of the death penalty in Texas, We expect that the bill will be referred to the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee where the members of the committee will decide what action, if any, will be taken with regard to the bill. We will contact you soon to ask for your assistance in moving HB 819 to a committee hearing.
For now we ask you to make your plans to participate in the TCADP Lobby Day scheduled to be held on Tuesday, March 8; please RSVP below.
